Answer:- Honey Bee (Apis indica)
The reproduction cycle of honey bees is an interesting phenomenon.
The male honey bees (called 'drones'), are haploid organisms while their female counterparts are diploid.
A female honey bee (commonly referred as 'queen') lays a large number of eggs. When a haploid male cell fertilises the haploid female egg, a diploid zygote is formed which will develop into a female bee.
Note that there is nothing as a 'diploid male' in case of bees. The unfertilised cells, remain in the haploid condition and eventually develop into male bees. The male and female bees therefore differ in their ploidy.The males are haploid while the females are diploid.
It is often explained as "a male honey bee does not have father and hence cannot have sons, but they have grandfathers and will have grandsons."

Parthenogenesis is a natural process by which a embryo can be developed from undifferentiated egg cell. It is a kind of asexual reproduction in which the development of embryos takes place without fertilisation.
The process being asked about in the question is similar to parthenogenesis, except that it says the embryo must develop from the make gamete rather than the female gamete. The process of parthenogenesis can be explained through the case of honey bees. Fertilized egg cells hatch into female worker bees and unfertilized egg cells into male bees.
